أقول لصاحبى والراح روحى

أقول لصاحبى والراح روحى

لجسم الكأس فى كف النديم

لجسم الكأس فى كف النديم

I say to my companion, wine being my spirit

I say to my companion as the wind is the soul

for the cup’s body in the drinking companion’s hand,

Of the cup's body in the reveler's palm

وقد حبس الدجى عنا بواك

وقد حبس الدجى عنا بواك

تسيل نفوسها فوق الجسوم

تسيل نفوسها فوق الجسوم

While weeping ones have kept the darkness from us,

And the darkness has veiled us in its corners

Their souls flowing over the bodies.

Their souls pouring above the bodies

ونحن من المسرة فى سماء

ونحن من المسرة فى سماء

فمن سارى الضياء ومن مقيم

فمن سارى الضياء ومن مقيم

And in our joy we are in a heaven,

As we are intoxicated in a sky of delight

So some have roaming radiance, and some remain still.

So who is departing, who is staying

شموعك والكؤوس مع الندامى

شموعك والكؤوس مع الندامى

نجوم فى نجوم فى نجوم

نجوم فى نجوم فى نجوم

Your candles and the cups, together with the drinking companions,

Your candles and cups with the penitents

Are stars among stars among stars.

Are stars within stars within stars
